So then what is the problem? Weak leadership? Does not the upcoming ruling not rise to enough of a threat to democracy and women’s rights to not relentlessly pursue every solution available? Because to most of us it does warrant a five alarm type of response. Why are they sitting on their hands and doing nothing? Why? |
I’m the PP to whom you’re replying and it’s got to be related to the flakiness of many a Democratic voter. Sending cryptic and useless (and ultimately incredibly damaging) “messages” a la 2000 and 2016. Think of how many people you knew or read who said “both parties are the same” and “the Democrats aren’t liberal enough for me, so I’m going to vote Green.” Guess what, genius bar voters: that makes the Democratic Party less liberal. Meanwhile, GOP voters are like a pack of rabid pit bulls in search of their prey: mindless, blood-thirsty beasts that move in unison toward their goal of mauling more victims. That’s how they vote. They don’t “get disappointed” and quit voting. They don’t “send a message” to their party. They vote, straight R. They’re willing to commit felonies and vote in flagrant contempt of everything America stands for. |
If you can't the voters to vote on the issue than it will not be resolved. The rebublicans ginned up enough voters to be single issue voters on this issue that were able to ram through a minority position because of the structure of the govt and that Mitch mcconnell was willing to do anything it took to take control.of scotus. Scotus, scotus, scotus. The rebublicans would one hundred percent be increasing the number of justices right now to get control of the court if they were in the Dems position. That is the way to play now. |
With what votes, precisely? Manchin and Sinema are the lowest of the low, bought and paid for just like Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Amy Whatever her name is. |
I think this takes many many many years to undo. Those two will be long gone. I don't know that my own children will live in a country where this right is returned to women. Maybe my grandchildren. |
Dem leadership needs to stop playing with those two, now. What have they done except drag us all down??? At least let voters know who’s fault it is. |
So women are forced to have their lives destroyed because the Dems won’t go to the mat? And then Ds expect to be rewarded in November? This is a problem of now. |
Elections are not about rewards. They are about punishment. |
Then the Senate and party leadership need to hound Manchin and Sinema publicly. Loudly. Relentlessly. Destroy every argument they have. They at least have to show that women’s healthcare is worth fighting for. |
It’s about women’s lives, and our fundamental rights as human beings. Not just healthcare. But yes. |
So your not voting dem because you can't get exactly what you want even though you are more likely to get it with them than the Repubs? So you what? Vote R like that will help??!! Again. Not voting the good because it's not perfect. |
Perfect? Women are going to die because d’s are all talk and no action. Everyone knows the republicans hate women; they don’t hide it. That Ds who can fix this are sitting in silence is sickening. |
| I’m a different PP and I never said I won’t vote. I can say I’m out of energy though. This is a problem when the only thing you can say is at least we’re not Republicans. I mean, that’s enough but don’t expect me to sing praises. |

Yep, you’re a Republican. |
